This is a political forum that is non-biased/non-partisan and treats every persons position on topics equally. This debate forum is not aligned to any political party. In today's politics, many ideas are split between and even within all the political parties. Often we find ourselves agreeing on one platform but some topics break our mold. We are here to discuss them in a civil political debate. If this is your first visit to our political forums, be sure to check out the FAQ and RULES.

Greetings, Earthings

At least, I assume so, or at least earth-adjacent. Its a nice planet - if we can keep it.

As this is a forum to say "hi", hi.

I'm a left-coaster, as the name implies, which may make the rest of the handle confusing. RatCon does NOT mean "snitching convict," nor is it denigrating conservatives, rather, it was indicating that I'm a "rational constitutionalist". It was late, I was tired. Never post when you're tired. Especially if you're the President, or a member of Congress. Fortunately, I'm neither, so I can speak my mind, or what's left of it, without fear of censure or retribution. Hopeful I'll be able to live up to the claim of being both rational and familiar with the Constitution, something neither of the previously-named parties appear to be.

So, you now know that I can be snide, but I'm not disrespectful. I take everything with a grain of salt - which is not good for my blood pressure, but it's better than letting things get to me. Unfortunately, I don't suffer fools well, but I can usually just ignore them. Unless, of course, they happen to be President or a member of Congress, or a judge or administrator or dog-catcher or celebrity. Then all bets are off.

The rest we'll figure out as we move along. Thanks for having me. It's nice being had.
